Description
During my GCSE Art, whilst exploring fragmentation and distortion in portraiture, I experimented with different photographical dynamics. I asked my friend to be my model in a photoshoot and it resulted in pouring a bubble bath to capture her beauty and mermaid essence in an abstract perspective. Hesitant at first, my model and I pushed the boundaries when adjusting the fundamentals of lighting and composition until we captured the perfect photo reflecting the beauty within the chaos of water, bubbles, and pink hair. Her striking blue eyes stare directly into the camera creating a focal point.
“Eyes are the window to the soul” William Shakespeare, which perfectly reflects the purity and fragility of the human soul. Bubbles are stereotyped as a childish trigger of happiness, but I have contradicted that and presented them as a deep and meaningful prop to highlight beauty.
